  • who, whats the name of the music?

    cheers!

  • The music is called Grandmas Rag from 1895.

  • yea i thought the movie was pretty lame too, but the actor Daniel Day Lewis was really something.

    it's pretty strange that everybody say that Martin Scorsese is a master, and yet i never got really impressed by any of his movies

  • Ahh I have not heard of him but ill look him up.

  • Yes the Gophers had overheard the shooting and decided to join in on the fun if I am correct, Monk was arrested under his alias William Delaney ( oen of his many) and was released. Shortly after this Monk Eastman and Paul Kelly fought each other in a boxing match with no winner. Paul Kelly representing the fiver pointers and Monk Eastman the Eastman gang. The above battle was also at the time the single largest gang fighting to involved firearms.

  • If you read this stuff, you should try "Against The Evidence" (published 1970), which deals a little bit with the gangs but mainly with the Becker-Rosenthal murder case, in which the hired killers were members of the Zelig Gang (or the Lenox Ave Gang, depending on what you read), which was the new Eastman Gang. It's out of print but you can probably order it.

  • Frankie Yale is related to me

  • Just a quick mention b4 I go to my bed, but Wiki Charles Becker. It's a shame Alec Baldwin's a bit old cos he could play him?

  • five points started around 1820.

  • look up a real crazy person

    richard kuklinski

    no joke

  • im pretty sure the street scene at 0:58 is little bourke st in melbourne, australia, with the green and yellow tram and david jones sign in the background

  • inaccurate

  • The five points gangs were in the 1850s and 60s...long before the gangsters shown here.
